Colin Newell, creator and editor of the CoffeeCrew Blog would be happy to chat.
If you are a newspaper, radio or TV station or town crier looking for a talking-head (on the subject of pop and cafe culture…) He might be the person you are looking for.
Colin’s work has been featured in the Globe & Mail, The National Post, on CBC Radio, the Women’s Network (WTN) “The Shopping Bags”, CBC-TV’s “Steven and Chris” Show, on CNN-online and CBS TV’s award winning TV show: CSI Las Vegas.
Joachim Oster (photo right) was raised in the wine growing regions of Germany’s Rhine & Moselle. He experienced hands on field-, forest-, and orchard labor in his youth, while seeing the world of family farming rapidly changing to fewer, large, centralized and automated operations.
He studied calligraphy and restored thousand-year old parchments in a medieval Benedictine monastery, always ready to lend a hand in the monks stables and gardens. From the monastery at the lake to the city that never sleeps, he worked for nearly two decades in Manhattan.
Former clients included American Express, Hershey, illy cafe, PRADA, and General Motors, creating products and designs for their needs.
Since 2004 Joachim, his wife and daughter, own and operate successfully their small Kona coffee family-farm in Kealakekua, Hawaii. Joachim helped founding the Kona Coffee Farmers Association (KCFA).
Their farms’ coffees are part of the Hawaii Seal of Quality program of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. Plus he serves as the Agricultural Chair of the Big Island Resource Conservation & Development Council.
Freelance writer, humorist, foodie and occasional public speaker, Brennan Storr (Photo upper right) is a Victoria area resident and occasional guest on the Coffeecrew blog – his gritty binocular views of Victoria life make for fun reading. His road trip travel stories read like a young Jack Kerouac. You can find the bulk of Brennan’s food critiques over on LargelyTheTruth.Com
